SANDY Claus is Coming to Town!
Yes…SANDY Claus! All of this week, the Stampendous and Dreamweaver teams are playing with a mix of their products, along with some wonderful, SAND-ABLE papers from Core’dinations. If you are looking for today’s 31 Days of Halloween project, please scroll down to my next post. Join us as we sand our way to the “core” of all things Christmas and the Holiday season. Of course, there will be prizes, and we give away the best…this time with a mix of fun Core’dinationsproducts as well. To be one of three prize package winners, follow the posted link lists each day, leave a comment, and winners will be selected from these comments at the beginning of next week. Here is what you might win:
Here’s what I’m showing off today:
I have the privilege to work with the adorable Forest Friends set. I started off by stamping these cuties and coloring them in with my alcohol markers.
Then, I took out my Leafless Tree stencil from Dreamweaver, and inked it up, being careful to not go over the animals. How did I do that? I used the fabulous Picasso tool as a way to mask off the animals. Then, I colored the sky with chalk.
I know that I have been mentioning the Picasso Tool a lot in my posts this month, and in case you haven’t gone to Dreamweaver’s site to check it out, this is what it looks like:
See all of the wonderful shapes and curves? I’m telling you, there is SO much you can do with this tool! Remember, Dreamweaver is giving away a LOT of stencils this month, so if you win….keep this high on your list!
I used 2 different Core’dinations for this card. The blue I sanded with their nifty sanding tool to distress it. Then I tore a piece of glitter cardstock (I’m sorry my photos aren’t showing that better) for the bottom. A few dots of Stickles and that’s it. I hope these little creatures have enough food for the Winter!
Leave a comment for me, and head to the next on the list:

Very pretty and inviting scene.
Thanks for all the info on how you did it. I might have tried to do the sky first, then the tree, and ending by adding animals. You have shown your way worked best.
